Overprotective

~39~ Sally's Explanation

I sat in Anatomy class already bored with the day. To add to that, I was also very annoyed. Justin kept pulling my hair next to me. I was so close to snapping at him, a newborn would have seen it coming.

To add to that, I had to go to detention today with Justin. Lucas, like a good student, attended detention when he was supposed to. To add to that, I would have to meet up with Sally, to let her explain. I was honestly still contemplating that. I was also very distant in class because I kept thinking of what happened yesterday during Jacob and I's walk. Then what happened later that night when I went to meet up with Liam.

Flashback

Liam parked at the cafe where we always went to. "So, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" I asked looking at Liam. He hadn't really spoken a word the entire ride.

He looked at me then looked away. It seemed he wanted to talk about something important, but seemed hesitant to tell me.

"Okay, I know I did not risk getting grounded for life for you to not say anything," I said folding my arms over my chest.

If I get caught I'm a dead girl walking. He sighed then looked over at me again. "Listen, Lisa my Dad is back in town. I know I haven't told you about him, but he is, and he is very dangerous. I don't want you getting hurt," he said looking at me with a pained expression.

What was he talking about?

"If he sees you with me, he might do something, and I don't want to risk that," he said holding my hand. He started to draw patterns on it.

I held his hand so he would look up at me. "Look, I can take care of myself, and I have you. So nothing will happen to me, I'm sure. You don't have to worry about that," I said looking him in the eyes.

He sighed, blowing a couple of stray strands of hair out of his face. "Yeah, your right. I won't let anything happen to you."

End of Flashback

All of this combined was giving me an extreme headache. "Justin, for the last time, stop!" I whisper yelled at him. I was not in the mood for another detention. Justin only smirked in response and continued playing with my hair. He intentionally pulled on it and I immediately stood up.

"Ms, I need to use the restroom, " I said walking out of the class, not even waiting for her response. I walked into the bathroom and sat on the floor. I don't care who walks in.

I was tempted to just leave and walk home but thought against it when I remembered that I have detention. I just sat there waiting for this day to just finally be over. The bathroom door opened and in walked the one person I had no intention of seeing right now.

Sally looked a little surprised to see me in here, but she quickly masked it. "Hey, " she said glancing at me, then quickly looking away. I didn't say anything back.

She looked like she was about to leave, but then she turned around to face me. "Lisa, I am really sorry for the way I acted towards you. I know I hurt you, but I swear if you knew the reason why, you would understand, " she said.

"Then just tell me why," I said looking at her. She seemed so conflicted to tell me. She didn't look the same anymore. Since we stopped being friends. She looked something close to depressed. And even if we might not be friends anymore, a small part of me still cares about her.

"I thought you said you would explain. In the letter you wrote to me, you said you would explain. So why aren't you explaining?" I asked when she didn't say anything. She nodded reluctantly as if she had forgotten the note.
